Click the image above for a hi-res gallery of the 2009 Hyundai Genesis Sedan.Autoblog recently spent time in Korea driving pre-production versions of the new Hyundai Genesis. This is the car that, according to Hyundai, will usher in a new era of luxury. Them's big words, and we only got a limited amount of time to figure out how true -- or not -- they were. But the main thing you need to know about the Genesis is this: unless they pull a bait and switch on the price range they mentioned, the car will be...

Spy Shots: Hyundai Genesis LWB sedan
Given the popularity of long-wheelbase LWB models in Asia, particularly in China where a high proportion of premium cars owners prefer to be driven rather than tackle the traffic themselves, it was only a matter of time until an extended version of the new Hyundai Genesis sedan was spotted. These are the first images of the LWB South Korean saloon, caught while testing in Germany. The new model, codenamed BHL-VI, will stretch an additional eight inches over the standard model and will initially be...

Is Hyundai targeting Texas for a new manufacturing plant?
Richard Cortez, the Mayor of McAllen, Texas, called a news conference earlier this week to announce that city officials were in talks with an unnamed automaker to build a new manufacturing facility in the Rio Grande Valley. Interestingly enough, he gave few other details as he was worried about upsetting the "customer" as they have asked for silence on the project. Not to surprise anyone, but all signs are pointing at Hyundai Motor Company. The Mayor has good reason to keep his mouth shut. Just two...

Sept. launch for Hyundai Genesis Coupe in South Korea
Hyundai’s all-new Genesis Coupe made its world debut last month at the New York Auto Show but the car isn’t set to go on sale official until September and only in South Korea initially. Hyundai confirmed the car will eventually be launched in other markets including the U.S., Europe and China but has released details on a timetable or volumes.

First Drive: 2009 Hyundai Sonata - Korean bred, redesigned in America
Click for a high res gallery of the new SonataIn recent months, Hyundai has made a big splash with the introductions of the Genesis sedan and coupe. While those two models will likely do wonders for Hyundai's street cred, they will definitely be niche players when it comes to volume. Among passenger cars in the US market, the midsize segment has been the highest volume category for nearly two decades. Since the mid-nineties, the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord have been the primary players with everyone...

Has Hyundai's Sonata Finally Matched The Accord And Camry?
In 2006, Motor Trend's long-term test fleet made good use of a then-new Hyundai Sonata. It lived a solid year with us, working hard every day, with no problems to speak of, and earned far more praise than complaint. But it was a Wish List car. "Wish the interior were a little better designed and finished." "Wish there were a little less noise and road rumble." And the proverbial "Wish it had a little more power."We can't claim to have had anything to do with it, but as the...

Hyundai may replace Tiburon with Veloster-based coupe
This year is the last for the Tiburon two-door hatch, though Hyundai is quick to point out it’s not being replaced by the new Genesis coupe due to hit dealerships in early 2009. Its replacement - another small FWD coupe - will most likely be based on the sexy Veloster concept from the Seoul auto show. “We are seriously looking at a small front-wheel-drive coupe to replace the Tiburon, but I can’t say when that will happen,” said John Krafcik, Vice President of product development...
